"I think I only hear the negative. I don't remember one positive thing they said tonight," Solo told OnTheRedCarpet.com after the performance. "We're working. We're working. What else can I say?"

Solo went on to say that being the first performer of the evening comes with a lot of tension.

"When you start off, it's just, there's so much tension," Solo said. "I don't know, I don't think it's my best performance when I go first. Hopefully, that is the last time that we go first."

Contestant J.R. Martinez, known for his work in the military and roles in television shows such as "All my Children," and professional partner Karina Smirnoff earned the top score of 28 out of 30 for their Samba. The pair also received the second perfect 10 of the season; the first was given to Ricki Lake and Derek Hough in week four.

"I'm tough on myself, but I also believe in what you say," Solo told partner Chemerkovskiy. "I don't necessarily care as much what the judges say, but it all comes down to this guy."

The eight remaining pairs return on Tuesday, October 17 for an elimination episode where the fifth couple is expected to be sent packing.
